Why I am a Mormon

Copy and Share

I was born into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. When I turned 8 years old I had the choice to be baptized and join the church. I chose to do so and it has blessed my life. I made this choice because I felt like it was the right thing to do in my life. After that I had a section of my life where I was put to the test and my faith was shaken. I was faced with the choice to serve a mission. At that point I was forced to look at my life and reflect on the choices I had made. I found hope in the gospel and got to where I am today, with unshaken faith and a fire that burns within my heart.
I know that this gospel is true. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet, and that Thomas S Monson is a modern day prophet. I know that Joseph Smith was called by God to translate the Book of Mormon. I know that the Book of Mormon is the keystone of our religion. I know that the teachings and principles of the Book of Mormon were written for both the time period that they were written and for the modern day. I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer. I know that He suffered in Gethsemane for me. I know that He took upon him the sins of the world. I know that He has an eternal love for us. I know that I am a Child of God. I know that my Heavenly Father lives and loves me with all His heart. I know that this church is true. I know this without a shadow of a doubt.
My testimony is what keeps my fire burning. It is what I turn to when I am faced with a trial that may shake my faith. It is most precious to me. It continues to grow. I am willing to share it with all who wish to know.
